Mandatory water-use restric-
tions for Columbia and 14 other
counties will go into effect April
7 as the result of a Phase II
Water Shortage Order imposed
by the Suwannee River Water
Management District's governing
board.
The Suwannee -River Water
Management District governing
board adopted the Phase II Water
Shortage Order during its
Tuesday morning board meeting.
The order includes restrictions,
and several exemptions, for all
water-use categories including
residential, commercial, industrial
and agricultural.
"It will primarily affect lawni and
landscaping irrigation," said
Water Management District com-
munications coordinator Cindy
Johnson, who explained how the
order will likely affect residents.
"We hope these measures will
lessen the impact of the drought
We hope it will help save water
until we gOt more rainfall."
Cities and counties in the
Suwannee River Water Manage-
ment District are suffering the
district's eighth-driest 24-month
period since 1932, with a 28.7-inch
rainfall deficit Tuesday, however,
marked the first time the
Water Management District has
ever issued a Phase II Water
Shortage Order.
Water Management District
Director of Resource Manage-
ment Jon Dinges said the Water
Management District has three
phases to its water shortage plan.
The first stage was an adviso-
ry stage where officials request-
ed voluntary water restrictions.

organization's meeting. The 30th annual battle festival and 32nd battle

With a little more than a month until
the Olustee Battle Festival and Re-enact-
ment, Blue-Grey Army organizers
began finalizing details for the annual
event Wednesday night with the
possibility of facing a $20,000 shortfall.
The 30th annual festival will begin

Feb. 15 in downtown Lake City, culmi-
nating with the 32nd annual battle re-
enactment that will take place at the
Olustee Battlefield in Olustee.
As of Wednesday, organizers
announced they were about $20,000 short
of their budget for this year with about a
month to spare. Commanding Gen.
Tom Coleman said the budgetary deficit
could cause problems for organizers.
"With any budget shortfall this
close to a festival, there has to be some
.concern for us," Coleman said.
Coleman said he believes there are
additional sponsors out there that will be

able to contribute to the event. He said if
the budget is not met, however, it is then
possible that organizers would have to
make cuts across the board.
Sponsorship chairman Harvey
Campbell said he is approaching more
sponsors and that they are making
more of a push into Georgia to market.

another "feather" in its
cap when it was
announced recently that it
would host next year's
American Bantam Association

The event will take place
Jan. 9-11, 2009 at
the Columbia County
Fairgrounds; but this is not

been honored the first
national meet was held here in
2000.
In the meantime, whether
you prefer water fowl or
poultry, the ABA and. the
American Poultry Association
will serve up the Sunshine
Classic this weekend at the
fairgrounds.
"It is the regional water
fowl, chicken and turkey
show for backyard breeding
hobbyists," event organizer

"Right now we have a little
more than 1,500 combined
birds all competing for best in
breed, best in class and best

about 122 exhibitors showing
special bred ducks, chickens,
geese and turkeys.
Registration of competitors

"There will also be a few
booths featuring breeder
supplies," Padgett said.

Smoke forces family from home

By TONY BRITT
tbritt@lakecityreporter.com

Smoke from a house's
wiring problems forced a Lake
City family to scurry from their
home to safety Wednesday
morning.
Firefighters from the
Columbia County and Lake
City fire departments arrived at
the 149 SW Balboa Place home
shortly after 11 a.m. to find
smoke billowing out of the
home.
Diane Davis, who is renting
the Balboa Place home, said
firefighters told her the smoke
was caused by the wiring in the
attic.
Davis resides at the home
with her 88-year-old mother
and her son. She said she went
out shopping and received a

call from her niece who told
her the house was on fire.
When Davis returned to the
home, she said a cloud of
smoke filled the house.
"It was so smoky when I got
here. I promise to God I could-
n't seen because of all the
smoke," she said. "The smoke
was coming out of every vent
in the house, even the exhaust
things on the top. My mother
could have died from all the
smoke."
No one was injured in the
incident and Davis said the
smoke never erupted into
flames.
"We caught it just in time,"
she said. "The smoke was com-
ing out so rapidly we just had to
move out We had to open all
the doors because the smoke
was coming out just that fast"

Local students will have the
opportunity to brush-up on
their reading, math and test-
taking skills before taking
the Florida Comprehensive
Assessment Test next month.
The Florida Education Fund
and the Excel Afterschool
Tutorial and Mentoring
program is offering a free
FCAT Blast Off and tutorial
session 'for third- through
10th-graders.
Different Columbia School
District teachers will serve as
instructors during the FCAT
tutoring sessions.
"Students will learn test-tak-
ing strategies that will help
enhance scores on the FCAT,"
said Bernice Presley, an
FCAT Blast Off coordinator.
As part of the program, an
FCAT Blast Off Orientation
will take place at 2 p.m.
Saturday in the Lake City
Middle School gymnasium,
843 SW Arlington Blvd.
During the blastoff event,
students will ,receive registra-
tion form ;to attend free
FCAT tutoring sessions which
will take place Saturdays in

FCAT Blast Off tutoring
classes:
* When: 9 a.m.- 12:30 p.m.,.
Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23
* Where: Challenge Learning
Center, I 1301 NW Labonte
Lane
February.
"During the blastoff, we've
planned to have something
like a controlled pep-rally to
get the students emotionally
ready to be successful on the
FCAT," Presley said. "We
also want to let them know
that the community is sup-
porting them and let them
know they are special and
they can achieve and do very
well on this test. We want to
get their minds relaxed so
they won't have a fear of this
test."
, County officials are also
scheduled to attend the
blastoff session to motivate
the students.

"We ... want to let (students)
know that the community
is supporting them and let them
know they are special and they can
achieve and do very well on this test."

Bernice Presley,
an FCAT Blast Off coordinator

- FCAT Blast Off tutoring
classes have been scheduled
from 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Feb.
2, 9, 16 and 23 at Challenge
Learning Center, 1301 NW
Labonte Lane. Students will
receive free snacks and lunch
during the sessions as part of
the program.
"When we start the tutor-
ing, we're going to provide an
atmosphere for them so they
can be exposed to a lot of
hands-on activities and a dif-
ferent way of learning,"
Presley said. "We want to
approach learning as a fun
activity, but the key thing is
getting the students' minds
open and relaxed. This
blastoff is just an extension of
what has been exposed to
them in the classroom."

The emphasis on the
subject areas was suggested
by teachers who work with
the students on a daily basis
and will focus on the students'
academic weaknesses.
"Each session will be in a
different critical area and we'll
have. one each Saturday,"
Presley said. "A student needs
to attend the four Saturdays
and each session will be
important."
Presley said the goal of the
program is for the students to
score at their highest levels
and for all county schools to
be ranked as 'A' schools.
"When the students
achieve, the county achieves,"
she said. 'The, countyy
achieves educationally as well
as financially."

Publix Super Market at
Gleason's Corner Mall in Lake
City Florida Lottery sold

Community

stepped up

during

cold snap

When the temperature
plunged into the teens
last week, there were
a couple hundred
homeless people in
Lake City who felt a rare cold night in
North Florida. Most had no place to go
to get out of the dangerous weather.
Luckily, there were people in place to
help those less fortunate with hot food,
warm blankets and shelter. There were
many who stepped up at shelters and
worked diligently to assist the many
homeless in their times of need.
There were extra donations and extra
hands to help pass out the necessities.
It was a good effort by all involved.
We often remember our charitable
organizations the Suwannee Valley
Rescue Mission, Catholic Charities,
Food Bank of the Suwannee Valley and
others during peak holiday times,
but these organizations and the people
who allow them to operate need
continued donations throughout the
year to keep their grpups functioning.
Brutal cold like we experienced last
week is rare in North Florida, but when
it hit and lingered for two days, it was
good to see people step up to assist
those less fortunate. We're a giving
community and it showed.

know the song.
"Way down upon the Swanee
River," was the line written by
Foster, a man who never saw
the lazy river's banks but man-
aged to capture the heart and
soul of an area succinctly. The
State of Florida adopted "Old
Folks at Home" as the Official
State Song in 1935.
More than 150 years after the
song was written, Stephen
Foster Folk Culture Center State
Park in White Springs will cele-
brate National Stephen Foster
Day with a concert on Jan. 13.
"This is part of Florida's her-
itage, and it is one of three
places where special events
will be held to honor Stephen
Foster," said Mitzi Nelson,
park information specialist.
An event will take place at the
University of Pittsburgh at
Stephen Foster Hall and at My

Old Kentucky Home State Park
in Kentucky simultaneously.
The concert will feature musi-
cal performances by this year's
winners of the Stephen Foster
and Jeanie Ball Auditions.
Giovanni Maschi, of Miami
Shores, and Marissa Rivera, of
Oviedo, will dress in period cos-
tume and perform several of
Foster's songs. Maschi will also
serenade Rivera with Foster's
number "Jeanie with the Light
Brown Hair," Nelson said.
The statewide vocal competi-
tion is sponsored by the Florida
Federation of Music Clubs.
Backintyme performers
Frank and Mary Lou Sweet
from St. Augustine will also
perform some of Foster's
songs while playing the banjo,
guitar and folk percussion for
the 19th century tunes.
A reception with food and

drinks will follow the concert
and is sponsored by the
Stephen Foster Citizen
Support Organization.
The park has been holding
the concert for more than
20 years, Nelson said.
Born on July 4, 1826, Foster
would write more than 200 com-
positions that would become the
basis for Americana music;
before his death on Jan. 13,1864.
"Oh! Susanna," "Jeanie with
the Light Brown Hair" and
"My Old Kentucky Home" are
just a few of Foster's well
known tunes.
The concert begins at 2 p.m.
Sunday in the Stephen Foster
Museum.
Admission to the event is free
with park admission of $4 for a
vehicle with up to eight passen-
gers. For more information, call
(386) 397-4331.

DROUGHT: Restrictions to go into effect

Continued From Page 1A

adopted Tuesday, has some
mandatory water restrictions
as well as voluntary restric-
tions. The third stage would be
a combination of the first two
stages, and also has more strin-
gent water-use restrictions than
the other phases.
Dinges said the governing
board can deviate from the
requirements listed in the
Florida Administrative Code
(40 B-21), which governs the
Water Management District's
authority, and make the require-
ments more or less stringent as
its members see fit based on the
hydrological conditions.
District staff will meet with
city and county officials
between now and April 7 to
coordinate implementation
and enforcement guidelines.
Dinges said enforcement of

the order will be based on a
combination of efforts by the
Water Management District
and local governments.
"Enforcement is not directly
with law enforcement, but with
staff with cities and counties
and possibly elected officials
who are in charge of the day-
to-day operations of the units
of local government," he said.
Johnson said the governing
board was compelled to imple-
ment the order in response to
extremely low groundwater
levels experienced throughout
the region during the current
drought.
She said there is no way to
predict how long the order will
be in effect
"I expect we would have to
see a significant increase in
groundwater levels before the

governing board would rescind
the order," Johnson said. "We
want people to be aware of how
important water conservation
is. The entire Southeast region
of the country is in a drought
right now and people need to
develop good water conserva-
tion habits, and maybe this will
be the start of that These meas-
ures are totally new to this-area.
They've generally been restrict-
ed to the southern part of the
state where there has been a
lot of population growth, but
now we recognize it's important
to preserve water in this region
as well."
The Suwannee River Water
Management District covers
all or part of 15 counties in the
North Central part of Florida
and protects and manages the
water resources of the area.

from the committee and join
him in the interviews.

Huddleston said applications
must be completed by noon

Tigers, 'Canes settle for tie

Carpenter scores
for CHS, Pitman
makes nine saves.
By CHRIS WHITE
cwhite@lakecityreporter.com
After 80 minutes of
back-and-forth play, there
was still no shakeup at the top
of the District 4-5A soccer
standings.
The Columbia High boys
varsity team's Brad
Carpenter struck early and
Tigers goalkeeper Kyle
Pitman saved nine of 10
shots, but CHS had to, settle
for a 1-1 tie against visiting
Gainesville High on
Wednesday.
The Tigers hoped to get a
win against the district's
toughest team, and the tie did
not make it any easier to
separate Forest, Eastside and
Columbia hig-h --schools,
which are all nearly
deadlocked with the district
tournament less than two
weeks away.
"It was important to get a
win, but it was at least better
than a loss," CHS sweeper
Geoff Beardsley said. "Friday
(against Leesburg High),
we'll try to get another win."
Columbia's Jorge Carrillo
nearly opened the scoring in
the' first four minutes of the
game when he had an
opportunity on a rebound,
but it was Carpenter who put
the Tigers ahead at 32:48.
Mallory Leighty sent a
corner kick through the box
and Carpenter said he hardly
had to work for the goal.
"I heard Mallory call front
post, which is where I run to,
so I knew it was going to me,"
Carpenter said. "When he
kicks it, he puts it right on my
foot, so all I had to do was
stand there and touch it."
Leighty said the credit
belonged" with Carpenter
and the team's excellent
positioning.

today 'in order for the
applicant to get on the
interview list
Huddleston will take the
committee recommendations
and make a decision over the
weekend.
"I am looking for more
than a football coach,"
Huddleston said. "I am
looking for a proven,
successful, energetic coach to
run a full program."

Columbia High's Steven Jordan (left) battles with a Gainesville High defender for possession of the
ball on Wednesday at CHS.

"Sometimes they make me
look good," Leighty said of
his teammates.
Gainesville, who has yet to
lose a district game this
season, was quick to respond
to the 1-0 deficit, and Stephen
Campbell scored the
Hurricanes' only goal as the
ball crossed the field eight
minutes after the CHS tally.
Leighty hit the post. with a
rocket shot, and Carrillo was
inches away from another
Tigers score, but Columbia

had to settle for a 9-6 shot
advantage and a tie score at
the half.
The Tigers forced
Gainesville to make only
two saves in the second half,
while the Hurricanes made
Pitman work for four more
stops.
"Kyle had a wonderful
game again," CHS coach
Trevor Tyler said. "He made
a lot of big saves. He didn't
come out for the one that
went in, but it was still a good

play."
Columbia is now 13-3-3
(5-3-3 district) and next hosts
Leesburg High at 7 p.m. on
Friday (junior varsity at 5:30),
where the Tigers will have an
opportunity to advance past
Eastside (5-3-2 district) and
into a better tournament
seed.
Columbia starting sweeper
J. Ben Parker left the game
late in the first half after
being cut on the head in a
scuffle for the ball.
